    Wheeee! Spent an hour today on Sonic Racing Transformed doing time trials. Man it's been ages since I have had a game that makes me want to shave those .01 seconds off my previous lap time. (I am talking like since SEGA Rally/Daytona CCE length of time.)

    Slowly unlcoking some characters. I am surprised at how hard some of the challenges are this time. There is a noticeable difference between medium and hard levels.

    I am really enjoying this game! The Afterburner level has some wicked-sticks music that I can't get enough of!

    Soooo, borrowed Kurdts Shinobi for the 3ds.

    Yeeees. Um, well. It seems decent enough, but just hasn't grabbed me as I thought it would. Why? Well it turns out Shinobi has gone from being a side scrolling shooter (with a ninja) to a side scrolling beat em up of sorts. For some reason this doesn't sit well with me... Gonna plug through it for a bit more, in the hope some coolness arrives.

    There has been some crazy stuff on Dead Space 2 multiplayer recently.

    Yesterday I was part of a playgroup playing against another team which had a member that was racking up kills. I don't know if it was because he's really good or a cheater, but one of our team decided he was a cheater and started calling him that.

    The game ended, and when the next game started the 'cheater' was part of our playgroup. And he spent the next two games attacking all of us who were on his team. It must have been strange for the other team to watch their opponents whaling into each other.

    Then this morning I was part of a team playing the Titan Mines map and we had four minutes to go before time ran out to complete the last objective. Now some players use this time to rack up the kills, which is what the guy carrying the objective obviously wanted to do. However, a lower level player on our side obviously didn't get this, because he started attacking the guy with the objective! Of course he started attacking back and for the next three minutes they just kept on killing each other... until the guy who originally had the objective, who was also the host, quit when he died with 30 seconds to go, meaning everyone lost all the points they had accrued during that game. Pity, because I was on a 10+ streak....

    Anyway, crazy times.

    So no one else got a Wii U? Despite my post a few pages back, i decided to get one on a whim.. it kinda did have a price drop so that makes it ok

    My impressions are mostly positive - I only got Mario and it's a great game - more challenging than NSMB2 and it looks sweet in HD. I was surprised how much joy i got out of seeing just a plain mario block rendered crisply

    We tried out 'boost mode' which is where a second player uses the touch screen to place blocks throughout the level to aid or hinder the first player - my wife is absolutely terrible at it but we had a good time regardless!

    The gamepad controller, well the screen is pretty low res and the feed is somewhat compressed - i've noticed a few artifacts here and there which is a shame, cause it makes things look less crisp than even a 3DS. Playing on it while watching TV is pretty awesome though, as is the TV remote functionality. I think it'll be even more impressive on a game that pushes the hardware more than Mario does. I got some decent wireless range on it in my house as well, thankfully.

    The system OS is really slow between apps, very clunky and disappointing considering the hardware. I was however impressed by the web browser which appears to use some pre-loading technique, cause it loads faster than my laptop browser!

    Needs a few more price drops, and a solid game or two before I'll consider a purchase. The last few years of the Wii were lacklustre, 3rd party developers gave up, and even Nintendo stopped being innovative once they shifted to Wii U.

    Plus they have shown time and time again, those that wait get better deals.

    Zero interest until a real killer app, and after Skyward Bored I don't have the faith as I used to.

    I find it ironic that the game they call New Super mario Brothers plays like OLD super mario brothers. But I am glad you enjoy it kurdt. Maybe that gaming day will be at your house again afterall...
